I'll give Lost a look just because Matthew Fox is in it and I like him.

I'm all over The Practice since James Spader has been on board.

I'll probably give The Benfactor a look too.
ABC has a history of just pulling shows that don't grab instant great ratings so I'mkind of loathe to commit to watching in case they get canned.This of course would be a self-fulfilling prophecy if I had a Neilson box, or was in the US for that matter.

Alias was one of the few ABC shows I did watch, but ABC seems to be making every effort to bury it so not even the loyalist fan can find it.....JANUARY...what was that programming genius smoking/snorting when they hatched this schedule?

I have an Alias question...I'm not posting it in the Alias thread, because I have only watched up to Season 2 on DVD and am deathly afraid of reading anything that might be a spoiler for me.

A friend lent me the DVDs because he knew I'd like the show, which I missed in first-run. My husband and I are now deeply addicted, to the point where I forced my brother (visiting from out of town, no less) to watch the Season 3 finale in another room.

I was hoping to be able to catch up on Season 3 through re-runs, but now I don't know if or when they'd be airing them? Does anyone here know if they'll show the re-runs before Season 4 starts in January, or where I could look to find out? Thanks!

Hey Snowflake,

ABC seems to be over the whole rerun thing...which seems ridiculous to me, but anyway... I just read online that the Season 3 DVD is being released on Sept. 7. You can preorder at Amazon or Overstock.com. I'm debating how much of a dork it would make me to preorder it!

Thanks for the intel, TigerGirl. Stupid @#$% ABC!!! Anyhoo...I guess I can tell the friend that originally got me addicted to Alias in the first place to preorder it, so that he'll be the dork and I can still borrow it!

You guys can try to get Alias back into the fall line up by writing to netaudr@abc.com. Maybe if they get enough complaints ABC will smarten up and bring Alias back to the fall line up. It doesn't hurt to try.
